Hi

My mouse cursor keeps shaking constantly on the screen and moving up the page by itself

I have changed the mouse 3 times , trying both PS2 and USB connected ones

Device manager says the device is working properly

I suspect a motherboard issue , as the problem first began when the computer became unresponsive , i rebooted it a few times and the mouse started working again except for this shaking issue

any ideas ?

I did a drug test already and verified the mouse has not used any crack ;)

Could also be a driver conflict error with something else - do you have any other input devices attached (touch screen, X-Box controller or Game Pad)?
Have you tried testing the mouse/mice on different surfaces? And not just the same old mouse pad, try a nice clean piece of white paper and see if that works. Might be time to get a new mouse surface.
